Summary
Project Integration Management Includes processes and activities needed to
identify, define, combine, unify and coordinate various processes within the Project
Management Process groups

is crucial for project completion, meeting requirements and managing stakeholders

needs all at the same time.

Project Charter Is the process of developing a document that formally authorizes a

project or a phase and documenting initial requirements that satisfy the
stakeholders needs and expectations

Project charter has a set of inputs (documenting the viability of the project
throughout and after its investment);
It also requires tools and techniques (via expert judgment) that is used to make final
approval from a set of inputs which is then used to create a project charter.
